Meet My Mona Lisa

Before I end my day, let me introduce my Mona Lisa. She was created when I had my internship in a special education school in 2010. The special children's project was to do cross-stitching. So I joined in and had my masterpiece, Mona Lisa. It is hanging in my living room now. Are you good at cross-stitching? Do you have the patience of creating something with your bare hands?

Good for you in learning to cross-stitch. I always thought I'd like to do it but I didn't have the patience.

This masterpiece is quite special. The back of this is identical in front. It was carefully cross-stitched to make the back clean.

@JudyEv I was lucky to learn the techniques when I had my internship in this school. Now, I can join a competition if I have the chance. In my city, people who are into this can join in.

@Shavkat That is the mark of a skilled needleperson - if the back is as good as the front.

How special is this for you. I have never tried cross-stitching.

Yes, it is. Whenever I see it, it reminds me of guiding the disabled children to their cross-stitched projects at that time.

I don't have such skill. That's very good job there.

Thank you. It was a great moment with disabled children. I hope I can do this again in the future.

I tried this when my cousin told me about it. I just tried. Your masterpiece is very nice.

I thought it was just a try for me at that time. Eventually, I had created two more aside from the Mona Lisa. I sold the other two.

@jobelbojel At present, I cannot squeeze my time to do it. In time, I will make it as my hobby.

Haven't tried making that. I think it takes time before you could finish any piece. I notice a man's reflection in the glass frame. Is that you taking the photo?

The reflection is mine last night. I thought no one will notice it. You are a keen observant. It took time for me to finish this because they are fill-in type of cross-stitch and 58 colors were used.
